Oh I was hoping it was Djok who was retiring but I would be very happy not to see Dick ever again either Grin

JaneJeffer · 26/07/2023 21:57

Yeah why not just retire now Dick? You're barely around anyway!

I saw the Nick thing- and I don't know why he thinks it's worth announcing since he's at an age when retiring in the next 5 years wouldn't be that unusual for a tennis player. But that's Dick all over, really. A whole load of hot air, and few results.

But the media lap it up. It's bizarre, really.

Hugo Gaston (in trouble for the 'ball dropping' thing recently) is in more bother since he retired from his match yesterday - at match point. It was the 3rd set- and he was 2-5 down- and Trungelliti was serving for the match at 40-0 up.
So , the match goes down as a walkover, rather than a win. I think he may find himself in a whole heap of trouble. Again.

GrinThe Casper match is about to start, coin toss happening, Mo is umpiring and issuing his orders -with the 'Mission Impossible' theme playing in the background.

Raahh · 27/07/2023 15:27

Casper is not having a great day. Grin has taken the first set 6-1.

JaneJeffer · 27/07/2023 15:48

I've just put it on. They sound like they're underwater! Plus the overhead view makes it look that way too Grin

Yes, DS told me about the Gaston retirement. How the hell does that not look suspicious, given the scoreline Hmm
Apparently, people are saying it's all to do with dodgy betting!

Mo and Mission Impossible Grin
Why am I not surprised Hmm

Raahh · 27/07/2023 16:33

I had to go out- looks like Casper has got ths match figured out now.

kazza I thought dodgy betting/match fixing with the Gaston match- really suspicious.

Jane it is a strange court with the roof closed.
Apparently earlier they were saying yesterday that Casper was very 'un-Casper like'complaining about the court and not his usual postitive self.

kazzaD66 · 27/07/2023 16:55

DS was saying that Casper told the umpire it was the worst clay court he'd ever played on. It does seem out of character Hmm

JaneJeffer · 27/07/2023 16:55

Andrey looks wrecked

kazza it does seem out of character for Casper. Hopefully getting through today's match will improve his mood.

Jane Andrey always looks knackered Grin.

JaneJeffer · 27/07/2023 17:05

Maybe Casper is peri menopausal Grin

Grin I said to DD1 that I thought maybe he wasn't well.

Andrey is shouting at his racquet already.

JaneJeffer · 27/07/2023 17:14

The Germans seem to be bundled up in layers of clothes no matter what time of year it is.

Sad for Andrey- but Altmaier seems to be a nice bloke, very good in interviews, and has had some great results this year.

GrouchyKiwi · 28/07/2023 09:46

Saw this today.

Love it Grouchy Grin

Rafa is having a lovely holiday in Greece

Glad to see Keith is playing well in Atlanta (watch him go out in the next round now)

OP posts:
Raahh · 28/07/2023 14:24

Keith seems really happy to be back, Jane it must be nice to win a match or two.
Sadly, Domi lost, but Stan went through in Croatia.

Sascha is playing later - playing Luca Van Assche, who seems to be playing all the time. Grin. There are a few players who seem to have been everywhere this past few months, and he is one of them! Cerundolo (Francisco) is another.

Raahh · 28/07/2023 14:25

Glad Rafa is enjoying his holiday with his little family (on his big yacht Grin) in Greece. Wear a hat!

JaneJeffer · 28/07/2023 14:27

Karen tried to come back but had to withdraw from Los Cabos. I can't remember what his injury was.

OP posts:
Raahh · 28/07/2023 14:39

I can't remember what was wrong with Karen (and it's a shame, he was on a bit of roll). It seemed quite sudden, after a run of good results.

JaneJeffer · 28/07/2023 15:53

Zheng looks likely to win here
